Thank you to everyone to who joined us on Saturday morning for garden work. If you couldn't join us, here is a summary of what you missed.
1. Spring Vegetables are hitting the end of their growing season and it is time to prepare for fall planting. If you haven't already done so, please pull out any dying plants, and prepare your garden beds for fall by turning over the soil, adding some fertilizer and putting in some fall vegetables. There is organic fertilizer in the storage bin- please feel free to use some in your garden bed. Directions are on the back of the bag. Fall vegetable plants are arriving in garden stores- leaf lettuce, cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, and cauliflower are all great options!
2. If you do NOT wish to plant fall vegetables and would like to turn your garden bed over to the girl scouts to plant vegetables for MUST Ministries, please let me know at your earliest convenience. The girls are excited to continue their efforts in the garden and would love to provide some healthy food to those in need around Thanksgiving.
3. Our next garden meeting and workday will be Saturday, October 2nd at 9:00. We are also planning a Scarecrow Contest and Potluck Dinner for Sunday, October 17th at 4:30 pm. John and Donna Kappers will be offering a cash prize to any group or class that submits the winning scarecrow to the contest!!
4. Herbs are doing very well right now. I prepared a few simple recipes using fresh herbs and will add them to the new recipe tab on the blog.
Happy Gardening!!
